So for Desmond’s birthday we went to the National Zoo. He enjoys seeing the animal and it was a gorgeous day out so a great day to go. Apparently a bunch of people felt the same way so it was very crowded, but we still had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the trip.

First off on the metro train getting there.

Desmond exploring

Watching the tiger, he really liked the tiger.

Playing the the Prairie Dog Tunnel play area

It was a good and tiring day!

Happy 2nd birthday Desmond! It is hard to believe he is two already. We’re going to the Zoo today to celebrate, we’ll be having a party for him in 2 weeks.

And now for some Eloise pictures. She slept in the Mei Tai at the playground, but while Desmond was down for his nap we let her do some tummy time. So here she is having tummy time.

Here are a couple of face shots of Desmond. You can see his new haircut.

Here he is climbing up the climbing thingy. He enjoyed this a lot.

Here is short stuff on his favorite thing at the playground the swings.

We went to the playground and I brought the camera so here are some more pictures of Desmond playing at the playground. First are some of him and Daddy on the slide.

Desmond likes to climb, yeah I know I’ve mentioned this before. His new places to climb however are on the windowsill behind the sofa and on the dining room table. He has found the light switch at the back of the dining room table and likes to turn it on and off. Anyways here are a couple of pictures of him on the windowsill, before we made him get down. Because yes I always take pictures of him misbehaving before correcting the behavior *grin*, okay not always just 75% of the time.

So Desmond likes to say Ut Oh! He doesn’t seem to have the context down on it though, he’ll throw something down on the ground and then say Ut Oh! Or he’ll do something he knows he shouldn’t and then say Ut Oh! It is really cute to hear though.

Here are the rest of the pictures from today, which are closeups of her face.
